Horrible Management

Pros

I can't come up with any

Cons

The owners/management at Smith is horrendous. There's zero reason to work for them as they are about 15 years behind other companies in every single aspect. They don't care about their employees which is why they have such a high turnover rate. Time for a overhaul because it's just such a sad environment to be in and around.

Pros

1. If you don't mind working in a filthy environment ... then this is a great fit for you. 2. If you don't mind backstabbing/gossip ... then this is a great fit for you. 3. If you enjoy the feeling of having the rug pulled out from underneath you ... then this is a great fit for you. 4. If you like a 2 face Ms Kravitz (you know who you are) ... then this is a fit for you. 5. Last and not least ... if you like to milk the company on OT ... then this is an outstanding fit for you.

Cons

I'm the 3rd person in this role. (that says a lot). Never and I mean ever does anyone say good job. Mess up, they put you on blast. The grown Smith grandkids are running the show now. It was dumped in their lap. Nothing has changed since 1908. Until EOC steps up, maybe the rest will. EXTREMELY depressed, angry and bitter office. In fact, hire ups need to care more.

Pros

You will have lots of overtime

Cons

-You will have lots of overtime- non-negotiable overtime at sites you have never heard of -If you leave the company for any reason at all, with more than two weeks notice, after being an employee for nearly a decade, they will pay you the bare minimum legally allowed (minimum wage) for any hours you have worked since handing in your notice. -They do not pay on time... EVER... and when they finally do pay you they will pay incorrectly. -There is absolute favoritism. Certain people can do absolutely nothing wrong, where others can do something super small and be shunned for the rest of their employment. -You will be promised the world, but no matter how hard you work for it or how long you work for the company... it won't matter, you will never get what's promised. -They will cause you nothing but grief if you even so much as mention how much you make to a coworker, usually because if you started before that coworker they will make more. If you ask to be paid fairly they will tell you 'it isn't in the budget'. So many other reasons. Just avoid this company at all costs. When you do finally leave, you will be so brainwashed to think you are a failure that you will over-work at your new job.
